Positive reinforcement dog training · we come to you

Training

We customize every plan to fit the needs, skills and personality of your dog — and we work as much with you as with your dog.

Private training

Positive reward based training — in your home, where you and your dog are most comfortable.

We believe in a customized approach that focuses on positive reinforcement, using treats, praise and life rewards to help you and your best friend develop a strong bond while learning together.

Our "do-with" approach is beneficial to both dog and owner: we focus on relationship building through training and games.

In-home sessions are designed to cater to you and your dog's unique needs, strengths, skills and personality, to make training a fun and rewarding experience for both of you — because your dog is sooo worth it!

$100 per session, in packages of 4 to 12

Walk-n-train

Live, love, walk! Our most popular service.

I come to you and walk your dog while providing a 30-minute mini training session.

We can work on loose leash walking, no pulling, waiting by the door, collaring, dog/people reactivity, basic commands such as sit, down, stay, focus and turns — or just go on a sniffari together. We only use positive reinforcement, which means treats and praise, and promotes lifelong learning while exercising body and mind.

$30 · 30 minutes

Board & train

Two, three or four weeks of fun-filled communication, learning and enrichment while boarding in my home.

  • Clean, comfortable and climate-controlled in-home boarding accommodations
  • Supervised play sessions in a fenced area
  • Weekly detailed reports of your dog's progress
  • Videos and photos daily of your dog's learning and skills
  • A one-hour review and handling session after graduation at the trainer's home
  • Follow-up review sessions at your home (two with the 2-week program, three with the 3-week)

Your dog will learn to sit, down, wait politely for meals and at doors, walk on a loose leash, come when called, and practice home manners, play and socialization. The 4-week program adds off, drop it, leave it, door manners and crate training.

2 weeks $1,750 · 3 weeks $2,750 · 4 weeks $3,950
